No this isnt framed right.
The decision of whats monetary or not is much sinpler and objective than how your portraying it.
Bytes after Op_RETURN are non-monetary arbitrary data but a small amount (40 or 80) had been tolerable. Data put here for images or video is obviously spam and not directly part of any tx and is spam.
Data in the inscription exploit by way of taproot is obviously spam. Same for data hidden in fake pubkeys etc.
Spammers pay the price once paid to get in rhe blockchain and then node runners are forced to bear the burden forever into the future. For legitimate monetary transfers of Bitcoin thats ok, but not for shitcoins on Bitcoin, nor JPEGs, or any other other data other than a hash.
BITCOIN IS NOT A NEUTRAL FILE STORAGE PLATFORM. That is a corruption of its purpose as money

“Obviously spam” is doing a lot of work in your argument. The moment you need humans to define what’s “legitimate”, you’ve introduced subjectivity. Consensus rules are objective. Everything else is opinion about how those rules should be used
